The 1619 Project has an airdate. The six-part limited docuseries, which is an expansion of the book created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and The New York Times Magazine, is set to premiere with two episodes on Hulu Jan.
26, with two episodes releasing weekly thereafter. The episodes ― “Democracy,” “Race,” “Music,” “Capitalism,” “Fear” and “Justice” ― are adapted from essays from The New York Times bestseller The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story that examines how the legacy of slavery shaped different aspects of contemporary American life. “This is a story of America, that’s our argument,” said Hannah-Jones at the Television Critics Tour on Saturday. “You can’t understand the story of America without understanding the story of slavery.
It’s not a documentary about Black people, it’s a documentary series about America. It offers a better understanding of the country we live in.” After the publication of The 1619 Project, Hannah-Jones said she was approached by several studios about turning it into either TV or film.
She signed a development deal with Lionsgate, which is producing the docuseries in association with One Story Up Productions, Harpo Films and The New York Times.
